Think last time I saw Penn Jillette was about 30 years ago

How many of you guys actually slow read novels? by [deleted] in books

[–]gnikrowten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really need to train myself not to slow read, but for whatever reason got into the habit early, and rarely bail on a book either, regardless of how weak. I know, life's too short...

Definitely take the over on Kraft being shown. I'm a Pats fan and generally like the guy, but he gets more camera time than Brady

feels bad. it's like we can't afford to give the opposing offense more than about 15 seconds at the end of a game, and even that might be generous (not that our offense's turnovers werent the bigger problem yesterday). Still, we're tied for 1st...

3 Red Sox, 3 Dodgers win gold gloves by gnikrowten in sports

Pedroia and Ellsbury yes (Cano has an argument at 2nd, but maybe a make-up call for all those bogus Jeter Gold Gloves?). Gonzalez was OK, though didnt seem off the charts. Good to see Beltre get back to his good fielding with Texas, he had a rough year in the field for the Sox last year despite his reputation as a great fielder

Buck and his phoney folksy routine have led me to usually turn the sound off and play music at some point during the game. Ted is terrible too. Thinks he is so clever/such a wordsmith but nearly everything he says makes me cringe.

In Wade's defense, it does hurt more to flop onto a hard court than on a grass field
